Under the turbulent times of the Song Dynasty, heroes emerged. The heroes of Liangshan are a legend in the history of Chinese literature. These heroes gathered in Liangshanbo either because of persecution or because of ideals, forming a force to be reckoned with. In "Water Margin", Gongsun Sheng, as the "Cloud Dragon" in Liangshanbo, is not only a warrior with strong martial arts, but also a military advisor who is proficient in the art of war and Taoism. Compared with the roughness and straightforwardness of other Liangshan heroes, Gongsun Sheng's image appears more mysterious and elegant, and his story is therefore full of more poetry and philosophy.
Gongsun Shengyuan was a rich child with crops and land, born in a scholarly family, but he preferred rivers and lakes. His family owned a mountain estate and had a clientele, which was already a symbol of abundance at the time. Gongsun Sheng has shown extraordinary intelligence and martial arts since he was a child, and his name "Gongsun Sheng Dalang" has become a household name in the township.
One day Dai Zong came to visit, Gongsun Sheng stroked the piano in the study, and the sound of the piano was melodious. Dai Zong smiled when he entered the door: "Gongsun Dalang, Wenjun has excellent piano skills, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
Gongsun Sheng put down the piano and responded with a smile: "Brother Dai is a guest from afar, why don't you taste tea together and talk about what you think?"
The two sat opposite each other in the courtroom, tea curling. Dai Zongyan talked about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and a glimmer of light flashed in Gongsun Sheng's eyes: "The rivers and lakes are the world of men and the destination of heroes. Although the villa is good, it is not as good as the rivers and lakes. ”
Dai Zong was overjoyed when he saw this and invited him to join Liangshan, and Gongsun Sheng was moved. He knows very well that in this troubled world, it is difficult to express the pride in his chest just by reading books and chess. So, he decided to go down the mountain and devote himself to the wider world.
When he arrived in Liangshan, Gongsun Sheng's talent was displayed. Not only did he have outstanding military talents, but he also helped Liangshan achieve victory many times with his profound Taoism. Outwitting the Birth Gang, the vicious battle in Shijie Village, and Gongsun Sheng are all one of the masterminds.
Once Liangshan fought against Huang An, Gongsun Sheng and Chao Gai fought side by side. The battle was fierce, arrows rained down, Gongsun Sheng brandished the Pu knife, moved forward bravely, and shouted: "All the kings rush with me, this battle will definitely win the championship!"
After the war, Chao Gai was full of praise for him: "Brother Gongsun, if there is no contribution from you in this battle, how can Liangshan have such a great victory." ”
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "Brother Chao has a good reputation, and we all did our best for Liangshan, and we died." ”
Wars are frequent, but Gongsun Sheng has always maintained a heart yearning for freedom. Not only did he show bravery on the battlefield, but he also studied metaphysics and explored the way of life in peacetime. He once said to a friend: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." I hope that all the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes can pursue and protect. ”
With the passage of time, Gongsun Sheng's reputation is not only in Liangshan, but also in the rivers and lakes. With a change in his heart, he began to think about more far-reaching questions. He said to his comrade-in-arms Lu Xun: "Brother Lu, although the rivers and lakes are good, they will eventually feel empty. I thought maybe I should find a pure place to cultivate my body. ”
Finally, on a bright spring day, Gongsun Sheng said goodbye to Liangshan and claimed to return to his hometown to visit his mother. He knows very well that this farewell may be a farewell. Everyone in Liangshan saw them off, and Song Jiang sighed: "Brother Gongsun farewell, I am afraid that there is no such elegance in the mountains." ”
Gongsun Sheng returned home, sorted out the old things, and looked at the piano that had been put down a long time ago, and his heart was full of relief. He chose to live in seclusion, going deep into the mountains and forests, looking for peace in his heart.
The story of Gongsun Sheng did not end in the flames of war and gunsmoke, but found a home among the green mountains and green waters. His life became simple and fulfilling, farming, reading, playing chess, and no quarrel with the world. Occasionally, he still thinks about those years of rivers and lakes, but more importantly, he cherishes the peaceful life now.
Gongsun Sheng's life is a transformation from prosperity to simplicity, from the agitation of rivers and lakes to the tranquility of nature. His story reminds us that everyone may have their own "years of life", but in the end, finding inner peace and self-realization is the ultimate pursuit of life. As Gongsun Sheng said: "Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian." In this rapidly changing world, perhaps we all need to find a quiet place of our own in our hearts, so that our souls can have a place to return and our lives can return to their true nature.
